Robotic training and clinical assessment of upper extremity movements after spinal cord injury: a single case report.
CASE REPORT A 28-year-old woman, with incomplete spinal cord injury at the C2 level, classified as American Spinal Injury Impairment Scale C (AIS), participated in a robotic rehabilitation program 29 months after injury. Robotic training was provided to both upper extremities using the MAHI Exo-II, an exoskeleton device designed for rehabilitation of the upper limb, for 12 × 3-h sessions over 4...
متن کاملDesign and Development of Cable Driven Upper Limb Exoskeleton for Arm Rehabilitation
this paper describes the design and kinematic analysis of a 5 DOF upper limb powered robotic exoskeleton for rehabilitation of the patients who survived stroke and the elderly who do not have enough strength to move their limbs freely. It was observed that the existing upper extremity exoskeletons were bulky and heavy which made them limited to applications and the complexity of the system incr...
متن کاملDesign and Development of 3d Printed Myoelectric Robotic Exoskeleton for Hand Rehabilitation
The development of dynamic rehabilitation devices can be evaluated as a research fastgrowing field. Indeed, robot-assisted therapy is an advanced new technology mainly in stroke rehabilitation. Although patients benefit from this enormous development of technology, including the presence of rehabilitation robots, the therapeutic field still suffering a lack in hand robotic rehabilitation device...
متن کاملFun and evidence - computer-based arm rehabilitation with the PabloPlus System
In the arm and hand rehabilitation sector, devices with unilateral and bilateral approach prevailed for acute patients[1, 9, 20], and onedimensional and passive exoskeleton systems [11, 12, 15] prevailed so far for chronic patients. A systematic review [7] with eight included studies came to the conclusion that roboticbased therapies of the proximal upper limps improves the motor control of the...
متن کاملUniversal Exoskeleton Arm Design for Rehabilitation
This paper proposes the design of a 4 DOF exoskeleton robotic arm for rehabilitation. This proposed robot arm can be used easily with either the user’s left or right arm. This robot arm is designed to have low inertia, high stiffness link, and zero backlash transmissions. It supports the patient’s arm during rehabilitation which is a repetitive task and takes a period of time. Each joint of thi...
